CVE-2025-10174

8.3

Pan Software & Information Technologies Ltd · PanCafe Pro

PanCafe Pro is vulnerable to cleartext transmission of sensitive information, which may allow an attacker to intercept sensitive data or perform flooding attacks.

Executive summary

A high-severity cleartext transmission vulnerability in PanCafe Pro poses a significant risk of data interception and service disruption.

Vulnerability

The application is susceptible to CWE-319, which involves the transmission of sensitive information in cleartext. Per the CVSS vector (AV:A/PR:N/UI:N), the vulnerability can be triggered by an unauthenticated attacker positioned on the local network.

Business impact

The lack of encryption for sensitive data streams can lead to the compromise of credentials or administrative information, potentially resulting in unauthorized access to the application. Given the CVSS score of 8.3, this flaw presents a high risk to organizational security, as it facilitates both information disclosure and the potential for service-impacting flooding attacks.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Consult the official vendor security advisories from the National Cyber Security Directorate of Turkey for specific patch instructions or configuration changes to enable encryption.

Proactive Monitoring: Monitor network traffic for unusual patterns or high-volume data transmissions that may indicate a flooding attack or unauthorized interception attempts.

Compensating Controls: Implement network-level segmentation to restrict access to the PanCafe Pro server, and utilize a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or IPsec tunnel to encrypt traffic if native application encryption is currently unavailable.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: Unknown.

Analyst recommendation

Organizations utilizing PanCafe Pro must prioritize assessing their network exposure to this vulnerability. Because the flaw allows for both sensitive data interception and service flooding, administrators should restrict network access to the software until official patches are applied to ensure all communications are properly encrypted.
